I think it's just a case of bumping up the bus speed and increasing volts ? Sounds too simple to be a correct answer though. Also I think lowering the HT can increase stability. I'l PM someone who will know.

Just increase the FSB and up the volts to stabilize it. Not that complicated. Or if you can Up the Multi instead even better. But a higher FSB will also Overclock RAM depending on the divider for a multi of 11.

Therefore, they began to take measures to stop the overclocker in his tracks. Here, the company began "cutting" the L1 bridges, which are responsible for setting the clock multiplier. The broken connection of these bridges essentially locked the multiplier at one fixed value and left only the FSB speed for adjustment

Uhm... If you use AOD adjust any VOLTAGES in the bios ahead of your OC this is the fastest way to mingle wit it, Volt changes in AOD=Unstable but clock adjustments and memory timing's are easily adjusted there...And if you have not already disable AMD COOL & QUITE

You won't get 5 ghz without a pot and some LN2. You'd be lucky to get 3ghz out of a 65nm AMD chip with a locked multi. Gotta work that FSB. Drop the HT down a notch as well as the memory multi. Then start raising the FSB until unstable, then add some volts. Rinse and repeat. Remember to keep the HT below 1000 and the memory below it's rated speed.
